Ok when I first started I was using 10 lb nylon string, thinking there was no way my necklace/braclets weighed 10 lbs, well the string kept breaking. Dont ask me why, I used all different beads, stone, glass, metal, all broke, some were very light weight, and did last longer, but in the long run still broke. So I switched to a thin gauge wire, stopped breaking, but end of wire kept coming lose from crimp beads. Yes I was sure to make sure crimp bead was as tightly crimped around wires, wire was flat not crossed. So I switched to nylon coated 7 ply wire, thinking strength of wire, and the crimp bead has the nylon to catch on to, since I didn't have this issue of the crimp bead coming loose with the nylon string I was originally using. Well guess what, I was wrong, it's coming loose again with the nylon coated wire. I am at my wits end here, why are they coming loose and what can I do to stop this? I was thinking of hitting it with some hot glue. Would this help?

Last but not least.....I love Cats Eye! The Blue on these beads are sooooooooo intense, the pic doesn't come close to doing it justice. On the pearls, they are white and light pink, but the pink is so light it's hard to tell the difference even to the naked eye. Hope y'all like them. THanks for looking.

I like this, but the seed bead strand doesn't want to stay in place. It wants to untwist and seperate grrrrrrrr. ALso I think the Red rhinestone roundelles (I think thats what they're called) seem to get lost. I may remake it and leave those out. Hope ya'll like it. Let me know what you think about the roundelles please.

This is my first attempt at a multistrand necklace as well as a choker, and I LOVE it!! But it doesn't hang right. The bottom strand is perfect, but the other two hang loose so it kinda cups outward. Should I take out like 2 beads on the middle stand and 4 on the top to bring it in?
